Your first stop is Shihtoushan Park, a former military restricted zone known for its natural beauty and primary vegetation. The park offers stunning views of Twin Candlestick Islets (Double Rock) rising from the sea.
- Huang Gang Shequ Gonggong Yushi - Next, visit the famous Huanggang Community Public Hot Springs Center, home to one of the most beautiful foot bathing pools on Taiwan’s Northern Coast. The pool’s iron-rich hot spring water has a unique golden brown color due to oxidation, earning it the name “Golden Spring.” Soak your feet in the soothing waters while enjoying peaceful sea views, rejuvenating both body and mind.

- Shi Ba Wang Gong Temple - After lunch, take a leisurely drive along the Northern Coast to the Temple of Eighteen Deities. According to legend, 17 merchants perished in a shipwreck during the Qing Dynasty. A loyal dog, who survived the wreck, chose to drown itself to join its companions. The temple was built to honor this touching story, and during renovations, a 30-meter-tall bronze statue of the dog was erected as a tribute.
- Shimendong - Next, visit Shimen Stone Arch, also known as Shimen Cave, a natural rock formation shaped by sea waves and geological uplift. The 10-meter-tall arch offers panoramic views of the sky and sea, and you can also spot wildlife in the rock pools.
- Laomei Green Reef - Your next stop is the seasonal Laomei Green Reef, recognized by CNN as one of Taiwan’s eight wonders. Formed from volcanic eruptions and coastal erosion, the reef’s surface is covered in algae from March to May, giving it a mesmerizing green hue. This natural spectacle attracts thousands of visitors each year.
